Furlong Friday at Aqueduct

Furlong Friday brings a nice Maiden Claiming race from Queens.

Aqueduct Race 4 {6 1/2 furlongs~3 year old Up~NY~Maiden Claiming}
A good group of nine are expected to make the start here.  Two are first time starters that could have an impact on the race. There is enough speed to keep a decent pace. It should be a competitive race.

#2 Rich Dalone (J. Ortiz / Levine) might be the one to beat with the fourth highest last out speed number and a solid 66% in the money record from six tries to break his maiden. He should be motoring on the front race and has a chance to wire this field.
$1 SHOW.

#7 Stone Crab (I. Ortiz / Rodriguez) should challenge with a couple of decent last out speed numbers and two healthy workouts. With a solid pace this guy should close swiftly into the stretch.

#1A  Black Tide (C. Velasquez / D'Alessandro) will contend with the highest last out speed number, a two race progression, and one stout workout. This guy also has the highest speed number of the group over the Aqueduct surface.

#8 Loose Money (Cancel / Lewis) is a first time starter that could crack the in the money group at first asking. He has good connections and has put in the best workout tab of the group, running three steady peaking works.
